December 2013 Volume 7, Issue 12

The James Bowie High School Outdoor Performing Ensemble wrapped up their marching season with a 3rd place finish in Finals at the Bands of America Super Regional Competition at the Alamodome in San Antonio on Saturday, November 2nd.

With only .75 separating the first place finisher, The Woodlands (92.70) from Bowie at third (91.95), the competition was extremely tight among the top bands.

Earlier in the season the JBHSOPE took first place at both the Westlake Marching Festival and the BOA Austin Regional competition at Kelly Reaves Stadium in Round Rock. The band also earned caption awards for Outstanding Music and Outstanding Auxiliary (Color Guard) in 5A preliminary competition at Westlake.

At BOA Austin the band received caption awards for Outstanding Visual Performance and Outstanding General Effect. Within their BOA class (4A), they placed 1st and were also recognized for Outstanding Visual Performance and Outstanding General Effect.

This was the Bowie band’s twelfth appearance at BOA’s San Antonio Super Regional competition. The band has qualified for finals ten out of the twelve times they competed. They have placed either 3rd or 4th in each of their last five appearances at this competition.

Since University Interscholastic League (UIL) 5A State Marching Competition is only held every other year, in off years, like this one, the BOA San Antonio Super Regional is the best opportunity for Texas’ top high school bands to face off. The top eight finalists from last year’s State UIL competition were present for this year’s BOA Super Regional. Bowie finished 4th in 2012 State UIL 5A.

The band’s 2013 show is titled “To B or Not to Bee,” with music by Benjamin Britten, Bela Bartok, Samuel Barber, Ludwig van Beethoven, and The Beatles. The music is arranged by Ryan George, with drill by Jeremy Hunt. The “bee hive,” which is a metal dome on wheels used in the production, was designed and constructed by Jeff Hurr.

For this “bee” themed production, color guard members wear black and yellow costumes mimicking the look of bumble bees with a classical era flare. There’s even a “Queen Bee” complete with a crown, gossamer wings and a festive flower umbrella.

The JBHSOPE is under the direction of Kim Shuttlesworth, with assistance from Ryan Thomas, Stephen Howard and Amy Suggs. Director of the Color Guard is Joey Powell.

Bands of American is hosting five Super Regional Marching Band Championships in 2013 in the following cities: St. Louis, MO; Winston-Salem, NC; Atlanta, GA; San Antonio, TX; and Indianapolis, IN. They also sponsor the only national high school marching band competition held annually in Indianapolis. Bowie competed in BOA Grand Nationals in 2012 placing 3rd in Class 4A and 6th Overall.

BOA classifies bands by student population, but uses a different grouping than the UIL. Bowie is a 5A school under the UIL classification, and 4A school for BOA. BOA classes are defined as follows: Class 1A, up to 600 students; Class 2A, 601-1225 students; Class 3A, 1226 - 1674 students; and Class 4A, 1675 or more students.

TRAVELING WITH YOUR PET

OVER THE HOLIDAYS? Here are some tips that will help make your drive smooth sailing. Submitted by Kristen West, Owner of Gusto Dogs LLC.

1. Take your pet on short trips prior to the big day to let him get used to traveling by car.

2. Keep your pet safe in a secured, well-ventilated crate or carrier. It should be large enough for your pet to stand, sit, lie down and turn around. Letting him have free range in the car not only puts him at risk, but it also poses a risk to your family if you were to stop suddenly.

3. Never let your dog travel in the bed of a truck. Even if he is secured on a short line to prevent him falling or jumping out, your pet can experience discomfort from the weather and wind or sustain injury from debris.

4. Feed your pet three or four hours prior to departure and avoid giving him any food or treats in the car.

5. Never leave your pet in a parked vehicle, which can quickly become a furnace and cause heatstroke, even with open windows. In cold weather, the car holds the temperature like a refrigerator.

6. Your pet’s microchip should be up-to-date and he should be wearing a flat collar and ID at all times.

7. Bring a bowl and extra water in case you get stuck in the inevitable holiday traffic jam!

8. Take lots of breaks to let your pet stretch his legs and relieve himself. It’s a great excuse to do some sight-seeing or pick up a fun treat for yourself!

Eleven-year-old Cait was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother, Doug, came into her room. He looked around a bit, but seemed really out of it.

Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there staring up at the hall light.

Little brothers can be weird, but this was really strange. Cait didn’t know what to do. Just then, Cait’s father appeared and explained that Doug was sleepwalking.WHAT IS SLEEPWALKING?

Not all sleep is the same every night. We experience some deep, quiet sleep and some active sleep, which is when dreams happen. You might think sleepwalking would happen during active sleep, but a person isn’t physically active during active sleep. Sleepwalking usually happens in the first few hours of sleep in the stage called slow-wave or deep sleep.

Not all sleepwalkers actually walk. Some simply sit up or stand in bed or act like they’re awake (but dazed) when, in fact, they’re asleep! Most, however, do get up and move around for a few seconds or for as long as half an hour.

Sleepwalkers’ eyes are open, but they don’t see the same way they do when they’re awake and often think they’re in different rooms of the house or different places altogether. Sleepwalkers tend to go back to bed on their own and they won’t remember it in the morning.

Researchers estimate that up to 15% of kids sleepwalk regularly. Sleepwalking may run in families and sometimes occurs when a person is sick, has a fever, is not getting enough sleep, or is stressed.IS SLEEPWALKING A SERIOUS PROBLEM?

If sleepwalking occurs frequently, every night or so, it’s a good idea for your mom or dad to take you to see your doctor. But occasional sleepwalking generally isn’t something to worry about, although it may look funny or even scary for the people who see a sleepwalker in action.

Although occasional sleepwalking isn’t a big deal, it’s important, of course, that the person is kept safe. Precautions

should be taken so the person is less likely to fall down, run into something, or walk out the front door while sleepwalking.WHAT WILL THE DOCTOR DO?

There’s no cure for sleepwalking, but the doctor can talk to you about what’s happening and try to find ways to help you sleep more soundly. Most kids just grow out of sleepwalking.

For kids who sleepwalk often, doctors may recommend a treatment called scheduled awakening. This disrupts the sleep cycle enough to help stop sleepwalking. In rare cases, a doctor may prescribe medication to help someone sleep.HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO HELP PREVENT SLEEPWALKING:• Relax at bedtime by listening to soft music or relaxation

tapes.• Have a regular sleep schedule and stick to it.• Keep noise and lights to a minimum while you’re trying

to sleep.• Avoid drinking a lot in the evening and be sure to go to

the bathroom before going to bed. (A full bladder can contribute to sleepwalking.)

HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF A SLEEPWALKER?One thing you can do to help is to clear rooms and

hallways of furniture or obstacles a sleepwalker might encounter during the night. If there are stairs or dangerous areas, a grown-up should close doors and windows or install safety gates.

You also might have heard that sleepwalkers can get confused and scared if you startle them into being awake. That’s true, so what do you do if you see someone sleepwalking? You should call for a grown-up who can gently steer the person back to bed. And once the sleepwalker is tucked back in bed, it’s time for you to get some shut-eye, too!Reviewed by: Larissa Hirsch, MD Date reviewed: February 2008Originally reviewed by: Michael H.
